Usage

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "Vancouver Island":

Map definition

  • name = Vancouver Island
    Name used in the default map caption
  • bottom = 48.7
    Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • left = -129.3
    Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • right = -121.2
    Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • x = 14.500961*($2 + 129.33431) + 7.6005899*($1 - 50.957789)
    An expression to calculate a location on the map via its longitude; evaluates as 0 along the left edge and 100 along the right edge
  • y = 5.8784868*($2 + 129.33431) - 23.076855*($1 - 50.947789)
    An expression to calculate a location on the map via its latitude; evaluates as 0 along the top edge and 100 along the bottom edge
